The Fortner bill to prohibit whits people from taching in negro schools, , which has passed che house and is now before the senate, is receiving a great deal of attention in the newspapers, . and a great many newspaper articles i are being published strongly condemn-' Ing ihe bill.

Far in setter this, though it requires the provision of transportation for distant pupils, than to struggle along with ca. small schools, poorly equipped and compelling a dispersion of the teach*rs" time and energy among three or four distinct grades of pupils. In oth3r Sta:es and in other parts of this ed State school consolidation is going forte r tt'ard rapidly, and wherever tried there is but one opinion, viz, that this plan St? ;S far superior to the former system. .\s we get better roads the difficul- 1 ties are lessened, too, and by all : ~ i means let Spartanburg counxv io:"ge 1. ; 1V( steadily ahead improving her roads ^ and her schools. There can be no loc more sure guarantee of future progevi ress and prosperity than steady lm1 su provement in these two local matters, j ? ce ?Spartanburg Journal. You are entirely correct. There are , no two more important questions be- sti fore the people today than the im- ; in oro.ement of the public roads and the j 1 ho rural schools. In fact, it might be J de stated as beynd the fear of successful i ; 9i] contradiction that the success and the TT i "n growth and the development of any , -n i section of this S:ate revolves around pu .? /j V the improvemeni ofxour public high- | ways and the betterment of our rural ; schools.
